Aug 20 - 25 (18 weeks)

18 Weeks

Monday - "sweet potato" size, but still haven't felt any strong movements from the baby. First day of school for the first 4 kids. Treadmill workout this morning - a little bit of walking but mostly jogging, yay. Did 2 miles in 24 minutes, really good! I did three 1 min sprints, and almost a fourth but that one was only 30 seconds. I was happy Owen didn't wake up crazy early this morning. Weight 149.4
Tuesday - Upper body static holds
Wonderful Wonderful - warm up - flows and stretching warm up

The Man - biceps, 2/8lb weights (was 5 last week, this was harder!) laying on ground with arms straight down at side, some slight 90 degree curls

Rut - triceps - first 3 min of song with 2/8, then 2/5lbs for rest, hard, kinda awkward for my left shoulder. laying on ground arms straight above, some slight extension

Life to Come - chest - 2/8 laying with arms out at a T, with straight arm would bring them up in a chest fly, hard but doable

Run for Cover - back - on tummy with pillows protecting junior, tried holding a T with 2/5, also would alternate one arm in a curl the other straight out to side, did better (a little stronger) than last week I think
Tyson vs. Douglas - shoulders - side and front raises and holds as long as I could, 2/5 lbs, my arms are pretty done though, so did some dumbbell swings and would hold until I couldn't, swing back, then hold again as long as could, did that for the last 90 sec of song. 

Some Kind of Love - stretching - spinal twist like Zuzka shows

Rest of the songs on the album - chest and arm stretches on ball, leg lifts, three 1 min center planks

Wednesday - 11:50 to go 1 mile on treadmill, then took Eth to school, back for another mile in 11:40 before getting jr. high kids off and waking up elementary kids - today was their first day. First day of back to reality for everyone! I'm proud I've been getting in my workouts in the a.m. Next week it will hopefully be easier.
Thursday - Daniel woke up at 4:30 this morning. Then after an hour of unsuccessfully trying to get him back to bed, I decided to just get up. Gave him some cereal and mopped the floor. Started this Melissa Ioja workout at 6:15 that I did June 15th, but just 6 rounds (since I remember that the first/last time when I did 10 rounds, I couldn't walk for a week...) Each round consisted of:

• 5x of jump lunge right, jump lunge left, jump squat = 1 
• 5x of left shoulder press, right shoulder press, both shoulders press, shoulder side raise = 1
• 15x of lower than parallel squats with 1/30 lb
• 3x of 3 wide bicep curls, 3 standard curls, 3 hammer curls = 1 

I did most of my rounds in about 3 minutes. Did 3 rounds with 2/15, then Zuzka's Legs like a Dancer #4 stretching again (started at 41:20 min), then 3 more rounds with 2/12. Finished a little after 7:08 am, might do more stretching upstairs if I can, need to get kids up. Tried to do a pull up hold/letdown, I could barely hold myself up for 10 seconds, doh! I'm going to try to work on that weekly again like I did in May.
Friday - Woke up at 5:30, Daniel woke up at 6, he had a nightmare apparently, cause he work up screaming and then said "Bad guy" over and over. They watched Toy Story while I did a treadmill workout, alternating between slow song and fast songs, walking and jog/sprint during the different songs. Did two 1 min sprints, jogged during all of two other songs, good sweat, 2 miles in 27:25, done at 7 am.
Saturday - Busy Saturday, left for temple at 5:30 this morning, took a nap after I got back. Finally got in my workout at 11:45 pm - did four rounds of: .25 treadmill then 1 min center plank on hands, then 8 min of stretching, 12:15 am, time for bed
